Russian ruble in 1922: Chervonets
Russian ruble divides its story at 1922, under “Chervonets.” The figure attached to that history is 13. Do not replace the sentence with the number on a bureau de change board today. Fix the reason it was issued, the picture, and where it was used, to that year. Later reforms — decimalisation, central-bank charters, pegs and floats — matter as much as the founding date for how the unit behaves now.
